For one thing, he was guitarist and vocalist in Procol Harum, who are on this site. |

No, I know how to behave in the restaurant now, I don't tear at the meat with my hands. If I've become a man of the world somehow, that's not necessarily to say I'm a worldly man.

Yeah... why isn't Robin Trower on this site, even if only under Prog Related? |

Pink Floyd's Shine on You Crazy Diamond has already been mentioned as a progressive rock song with blues elements (and it is progressive rock, based on both time signature changes and compositional structure).
I would suggest this Led Zeppelin song is perhaps the most progressive blues song ever written, particularly if you compare it Memphis Minnie's original 1929 acoustic Delta blues version.... And let's not forget how Robin Trower showed that there is really no limits regarding the construction of a blues composition.... Edited by The Dark Elf - October 01 2020 at 07:51 |

I know this is probably more blues-oriented than it is progressive, but they are listed in the archives and it's actually quite refreshing to hear Blue Oyster Cult do flat out heavy, blues-rock. From their album "Cultosaurus Erectus", it's "Divine Wind".

Up to today, Came's music has a lot of influence from the blues.

Pink Floyd's "Shine On You Crazy Diamond" from 1974-1975. Three-chord blues structure in G-minor (mostly)... A lot of musical analysis has been published dissecting this piece. Here's one...

Progressive blues-rock is not hard to be detected among the songs that are from the late sixties. For instance, Family and Jethro Tull had some great ones. However, in the seventies, the bands were rather rarely recording blues-rock songs that could be considered as "progressive". Doesn't it seem that experimenting with the blues form was out of fashion in the seventies? Post your faves and discuss. I'd like to start the thread with these two songs by Smak. Smak - "Plava pesma" (1977) Smak - "Sumadijski blues" (from "Smak live in New York" tv documentary, 1976) Edited by Boboulo - September 27 2020 at 07:58 |
